Configuring a Wireless Zone

4.In the 802.11a Radio and 802.11a Adv tabs, configure the settings for the operation of the 802.11a radio bands. The SonicPoint has two separate radios built in. Therefore, it can send and receive on both the 802.11a and 802.11g bands at the same time.

5.The settings in the 802.11a Radio and 802.11a Advanced tabs are similar to the settings in the 802.11g Radio and 802.11g Advanced tabs.

6.When finished, click OK.

Configuring a Wireless Zone

You can configure a wireless zone on the Network > Zones page. Typically, you will configure the WLAN zone for use with SonicPoints.

1.On the Network > Zones page in the WLAN row, click the icon in the Configure column.

2.In the Edit Zone dialog box on the General tab, the Allow Interface Trust setting automates the creation of Access Rules to allow traffic to flow between the interfaces of a zone instance. For example, if the WLAN zone has both the X2 and X3 interfaces assigned to it, checking Allow Interface Trust on the WLAN zone creates the necessary Access Rules to allow hosts on these interfaces to communicate with each other.

3.Select the checkboxes for the security services to enable on this zone. Typically you would enable Gateway Anti- Virus, IPS, and Anti-Spyware. If you are running SonicWALL Client Anti-Virus, select Enable Client AV Enforcement Service.

4.Click the Wireless tab.

In the Wireless Settings section, select Only allow traffic generated by a SonicPoint to allow only traffic from SonicWALL SonicPoints to enter the WLAN zone interface. This allows maximum security on your WLAN. Uncheck this option if you want to allow any traffic on your WLAN zone regardless of whether or not it is from a wireless connection. Uncheck Only allow traffic generated by a SonicPoint and use the zone on a wired interface to allow guest services on that interface.

Select SSL VPN Enforcement to require that all traffic that enters into the WLAN zone be authenticated through a SonicWALL SSL VPN appliance.

Note: SSL VPN Enforcement allows the added security of one-time passwords when using a SonicWALL SSL VPN appliance.

In the SSL VPN Server list, select an address object to direct traffic to the SonicWALL SSL VPN appliance.

In the SSL VPN Service list, select the service or group of services that you want to allow for clients authenticated through the SSL VPN.

If your wireless network is already running WiFiSec, you can select WiFiSec Enforcement to require that all traffic that enters into the WLAN zone interface be either IPsec traffic, WPA traffic, or both.
